Evolution - Self Compacting Concrete

Evolution™ is a branded High Performance
Concrete.
Its self-levelling, self-consolidating properties allow it to be placed fully
compacted without segregation and
with no vibration.

In an ever more demanding and extremely competitive environment, with tight
deadlines and even tighter margins, speed and efficiency which save time are
critical. Evolution, from CEMEX, is a self compacting / self levelling concrete solution that
can help save valuable time and labour cost.

Self-compacting concrete is gradually becoming the preferred
formulation worldwide for many applications such as foundations,
floors, walls and complex bespoke structures because it combines
great strength and superb finishes with the opportunity to make
serious project productivity improvements. The Evolution™ range fine
tunes the high performance concept to provide outstanding solutions
for specific applications.

The product cost of high performance concrete can be more than
offset by significant productivity and performance gains. Because
Evolution™ can flow from a single point (note: on large
pours more than one point may be required), is self-levelling, selfcompacting
and eliminates the need to hire expensive vibration
equipment, the cost of placing the concrete can be significantly
reduced. In addition to the cost benefits there is also the improved
on-site health and safety to take into consideration.
